Definitely +1. That base is awesome all by itself.

the base is looking good, is an interesting effect. thats a good idea mraking out the sky and earth first, i have not thought to do that before.

Dude I'm so sorry for your wife and so for you. Hope everybody will be ok from now on.
I have tried once to paint with fever and it was... the same as if I painted under alcool.
I love the colour of your base, can't wait to see what's next

thanks friends! yeah ischa im glad you promptly said "no" to the mirror base. this became so much better although it required a good 10hr+ work...
the marble is pretty easy to make, but then i guess many things are when you know how. it is primed and painted pure white for a start, then i used a sponge with dilluted (codex) grey. the dilution ratio was different so the pattern was not equally strong all over. i deliberately made tidemarks, and afterwards some was enhanched with a brush afterwards, painting some "veins".
then glazed with a mix of gw's old midnight blue and vallejo smoke, creating a green-ish colour. highlighted white. hmm... too bad i didnt make a step by step...

A disturbing lack of pinkness in this! Base is amazing, heck the whole thing is amazing.

just some lifesigns... this is taking forever but im still enjoying the senmm painting. most of the time at least! however, im yet again having a really sore throat and possibly fever. d'oh! 2013 year of the plague. anyway. don't think im going to paint the upper legs with senmm, just regular nmm. should save me a week for every leg, lol

I'm actually a man!
Lovely to see, never seen a contemptor done like this, or an UM one, i have a soft spot for the smurfs
The light weathering on the leg is very good, a subtle effect is always very difficult to achieve.
Hope you and yours feel better soon, never nice being unwell

That chrome seal on the right leg is just incredible! Great work, Skells. I know you haven't always been a fan of the power armor, but I hope you are enjoying this mini.

It is indeed top notch. The only thing that's odd, to me, is the juxtaposition of the spotless chrome and corrosion around the bolts. It's certainly possible IRL (my sink faucet is spotless, except where the chrome finish is worn), but it seems odd to me. Just my opinion, of course. Not a complaint about your work or choices.

thanks friends! chad, this is indeed not my kind of miniature really, but i enjoy it surprisingly mucho
trystan; its mostly to get just a little colorvariation, but i get your point

I second Ischa on this, looking awsome and defenetly something to learn. Hope that you and the family are feeling better soon.
